[Northern Campaign] Operation Crazy Crow
[Northern Campaign] Operation Crazy Crow
It had been a few weeks since Captain Halar's team had landed on the southern coast of Haihan. They spent the first two days carefully demining their little section of the cold muddy beach. One of the scouts had found a decent sized cave about a mile inland complete with a few stale packs of rations and a moldy wooden cot frame, likely the camp of some long dead Jing deserter. It suited the teams just fine. They set up a few traps and waited a week. No sign of the enemy. On the ninth day, they began an advance north, stopping only for short rests. On the eleventh day, a lone Jing patrol was spotted far to the west. The team followed them to a small camp, likely an outpost marking the edge of full military control. At dusk on the twelfth day, the team sabotaged the communications tower and overloaded the rudimentary power grid. A few hours later they set fire to the quarter's of the man suspected to be the camp's commanding officer and, in the ensuing hysteria, discretely took out fourteen of the twenty-four Jing accounted for in the camp while another two, including the CO, died in the fire. The next day, it was observed that the new commanding officer of the camp believed that the fourteen soldiers had were the cause of the fire and sabotage and had deserted. By noon, their comms were once again operational and a request was made for reinforcements from an outpost further north. The tower was again disabled by the team, though with the outpost on higher alert, one of the seven remaining soldiers fired on our man and, in the ensuing firefight, all Jing were killed. Two team members were wounded and it was decided that they would rest at the base until the reinforcements arrived. They would pick them off, take what they could use, and continue north.
tl;dr There's a team of guerilla Shiretits on the little Jing territory on Apollonia on the north sea. They demined a tiny section of the southern coast and are holed up in a military outpost awaiting a team of unsuspecting reinforcements.

(Referee note 1: this team was conveyed to the beach by a secret move which I approved in advance. Any elaboration on that is Ryker's choice unless I judge in-theatre developments to compromise the secrecy of the entity/entities involved)
(Referee note 2: can we get a rough manpower figure please?)

Re: [Northern Campaign] Operation Crazy Crow
This team is composed of less than twenty men. Two are wounded. Let's say one got shot in his right arm and another has a concussion.
